Itinerary

Welcomed at Cochin airport/railway station and transferred to the mist-covered hill station of Munnar in a private AC vehicle. Check in to your hotel and refresh with a welcome drink. Visit the Poothamedu Viewpoint for sweeping valley vistas, walk around the Head Works Dam and the vibrant Blossom Park. Return for dinner and an overnight stay in Munnar.

After breakfast, explore Munnar's finest attractions — Rajamala (Eravikulam National Park) for the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, the Mattupetty Dam reservoir for a tranquil boat ride, the acoustically wondrous Echo Point, and the high-altitude Kundala Lake. Stop by the KDHP Tea Museum to discover the fascinating world of Munnar's prized teas. Evening shopping at the local market. Dinner and overnight stay in Munnar.

After breakfast, check out from Munnar and drive to the legendary backwaters of Alleppey (3.5 hrs). Upon arrival, board your private houseboat with a refreshing welcome drink. Glide gently through shimmering canals, savour a delicious Kerala lunch on board, and watch village life unfold along the waterways — from fishermen casting their nets to children playing on the banks. By evening, your houseboat anchors near verdant paddy fields. Enjoy sunset views, tea and snacks on deck, followed by dinner and an overnight stay on the houseboat.

After a scenic morning on the backwaters and a leisurely breakfast, disembark and begin the drive to Kovalam (approx. 3.5 hrs). Upon arrival, check in to your beach hotel and spend the rest of the day unwinding on the golden shores of Kovalam — one of India's most beautiful beaches. Take a dip in the warm waters of the Arabian Sea, stroll along the crescent-shaped bay, or simply bask in the glorious coastal sunshine. Dinner and overnight stay at Kovalam.

After breakfast, spend the day exploring the cultural and historical treasures of Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram). Begin with the magnificent Padmanabhaswamy Temple — one of India's most sacred Vishnu shrines, known for its stunning Dravidian architecture. Continue to the Napier Museum and Zoo, the Government Arts and Crafts Museum, and the Kowdiar Palace area. Browse the bustling Chalai Market and East Fort area for traditional handicrafts, spices, and souvenirs. Return to Kovalam for dinner and an overnight stay by the beach.

Wake up early to catch the sunrise over the Arabian Sea — one of Kovalam's most magical experiences. Enjoy a last leisurely breakfast by the beach and take a final stroll along the shore. After checkout, our driver will transfer you to Trivandrum International Airport or railway station for your onward journey home. Carry with you the vibrant memories of Kerala's mountains, backwaters, and beaches — a journey that truly captures the spirit of God's Own Country.
